D is a. series ofron pipes fitted and sliding easily within each other, to the top of which the platform'C and jointed framework B are attached by means of guys F. '.`l he framework B is constructed around these pipes. F are jointed arms attached to the sides of the water-box, which are opened `when the elevator is in use, and operate to steetdyv and support it.V When not in use, they are folded up to th'e side of`the weterlbox, as in tig. 1.

Water'or lstema being forced into the pipes D'from below,` hy means of a. force-pump, or any other power, causes therzi'to extend themselves one above the other, and take with them in their ascent thelplatform C, which movement cpensthe .jointed framework B, es yseen in tig. 2.
